World Record For South African Fan
South African football fan, 29-year-old Thulani Ngcobo, will set a new Guinness World Record for the most FIFA World Cup matches attended by an individual after attending 21 full matches at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, according to Guinness World Records.
The number of matches to beat is 20 and at the end of the tonight’s match between Chile and Spain at Loftus Versfeld, Ngcobo will have broken the record.
“Ngcobo 2010” as he is commonly known, became the luckiest football fan in the world when he entered and won the MTN8 Last Fan Standing competition in South Africa last year. Winning an incredible prize to attend 38 FIFA World Cup matches during 2010, and traveling more than 17 000 kilometers to watch more than 3400 minutes of live football, he is set to put is name down in the Guinness Book of Records.
Since the start of the World Cup up to last night, Ngcobo has watched 26 matches during the group stages, but only 20 of the matches count as full credits towards his record (during which he watched the full 90 minutes). In cases where Ngcobo arrived at a match late (after the first whistle) or left early (before the final whistle) in order to get to another match, those matches do not count towards his Guinness World Record attempt.
Ngcobo, who has been attending up to two matches a day, will again attend two matches today. First he’ll attend the Korea vs Ivory Coast at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit at 16h00, whereafter he will rush off by helicopter to make the Chile vs Spain match at 20h30 at Loftus, where he will officially break the Guinness World Record.
